Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and I am hoping that someone can give me some advice.
These are my last few labs. After my dr. received the August one she said that I should stay on the same dose. I was thinking of adding a little more cytomel since my Free T3 is still on the low side. If I do, should I lower my Synthroid again? I would appreciate any advice.
